Everyone hates email, especially on mobile. We're building Net (@net__email__app) for people who expect better. Every other email app tries to squish the desktop experience into your palm, but that doesn't work. Net is the first email app designed to fit into your life rather than forcing you to fit to it. People who are using it call it "magical", "amazing", and "surprisingly fun". We’ve just opened up 1,000 additional spots on our beta. 👇 to learn more and get access.

one problem with automation software today is that it creates a ton of extra work for the maintainer. if the product looks like an infinite canvas workflow builder where you have to connect inputs to outputs, assemble tools, and write complex prompts, you are default inaccessible to regular people. these products force users to think like engineers. and ironically, most "next-gen ai-native agentic automation platforms" are making the same usability mistakes as the incumbents.

shipped a handful of run agents to our first design partner last week after 6 months of building. feels good. some unstructured thoughts / learnings: - requirements change daily. having a flexible platform that can adapt quickly is critical. - background agents help with adoption. nobody has to “trigger” anything. the work just gets done. invisible software. - every stakeholder has different needs. some care about agent visibility while others only care about output. have to build for both. - focused on use cases that were impossible to build with incumbent automation tools. workflows that have interleaved human steps, fuzzy logic, lots of edge cases, "each run is a snowflake". agents thrive here. just the beginning!

re: soulless tech, fads, brainrot marketing i'm reminded of a section from a steve jobs interview in 1995 where he critiques microsoft: "I have no problem with their success. They've earned their success for the most part. I have a problem with the fact that they just make really third-rate products. Their products have no spirit to them, no soul to them. They're not very good. I wish them success. I just wish they could inject a little bit of creativity and culture into their products."

i don't really understand the whole 1 person company thing. half the fun is winning with other people. why would you want to win alone?

fun fact- agentic haggling is already happening. example: insurance claims appeal. 2 agents arguing over who should “win” the claim. each agent represents a different company.
agentic haggling will be a real thing. there will be a world in which you give your agent $20 to build software and it decides whether to spend on neon v. supabase and there are going to be agent-agent negotiations that take place

I’m excited to share that I’ve partnered with @nvachhar and @peteschlampp to start a new company. There is far too much manual & repetitive work done at every organization all around the world. We’re building a new agentic automation platform capable of orchestrating and maintaining fleets of autonomous agents at internet scale. And we’re proudly backed by @shv. We're assembling a world‑class team in the bay area. Reach out if you're interested in: - large scale distributed systems - human computer interaction - novel user experiences for task delegation - self healing programs - natural language interfaces - organizational knowledge graphs

re: agentic automation / browser infra -- proxy rotation, recaptcha cracking, and auto-2fa features do not matter at all in enterprise environments. these problems are solved with a bizdev call. whitelist me. i’m a bot. i pay you $10m a year. :)

The big upside of AI Agents is that the majority of the world actually underutilizes technology today. The opportunity to automate new things we didn’t even consider before because it was too costly or hard will vastly exceed the stuff we’ve already automated.
The deflationary impact on software is profound and accelerating.
